ambassador susan rice. you were critical in tv appearances right after the attack on september 11th. let's listen to that. >> ambassador rice was deliberately misleading the american people or showed and demonstrated such a lack of knowledge and physicality indication that she shouldn't hold that position anymore. >> now, during friday's hearing, david petraeus and we'll get to other incidents -- other news with david petraeus later, but david petraeus basically said he knew it was a terrorist attack and that those points were taken out of susan rice's talking points, so do you -- do you feel differently about susan rice now? >> no, first of all, as far as general petraeus, what was clear was that the intelligence community had this right and they put together talking points and somewhere after it left the intelligence community, some way in the administration there was language taken out. susan rice, i would hope if she's going to go on national television is going to rely on more than unclassified talking

susan rice owns libya in a real way. one of the people inside that room that pushed for the invasion. if the republicans thought they had some broader leverage here, if they thought they could make something out of libya as a whole, which maybe they could, they would be going after that. instead they focused very narrowly on these purported security, you know, misstatements and i think that tells you something about what they do and don't have. >> but the insistence upon the tick tock on "meet the press" versus what happened that night in libya. >> you know from covering this, alex, when prominent administration officials go on shows like this, they get talking points. we've seen the talking points. they've come out. they're briefed on what they can and can't say. that's not really the issue at hand. the fact that they're drilling down on that, i think ben is right, shows they have nothing about nothing. they have no other -- you know, they're not attacking the president on syria, they're not attacking the president on a

ambassador susan rice. that came from somewhere other in the administration than his direct talking point. so he wants to get all this sorted out. he believes it was the al qaeda sympathizer group ansar al sharia that was responsible for the attacks. >> so the question, barbara, is he is convinced that the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi had nothing, nothing to do with that anti-muslim video that'd been posted on youtube, that this was a terrorist attack by this al qaeda affiliated organization. the question is though, when did he reach that final conclusion? did he know that before susan rice, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations went on those five sunday shows and insisted what happened in benghazi was the result of spontaneous anger from that anti-muslim video? >> all the i can tell you, wolf, is this source says the intelligence reports that came in blaming the video, those 20 or so reports, this source says petraeus had those reports disproved over time after he testified or rather briefe
